Roberge met with representatives of the Quebec English School Boards Association (QESBA) and its French counterpart, the Fédération des commissions scolaires du Québec (FCSQ), to discuss school board reforms last Friday.

The next day, he took to social media to insist the Coalition Avenir Quebec (CAQ) was not going to compromise its position.

“We are open-minded to improve our program, but even after hearing about those concerns, we will transform school boards into service centres and abolish elections,” Roberge said.

“Everything is going to be alright, just like the song,” he added, laughing.

The Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN), a non-profit representing English-speaking community organizations, argues that getting rid of school boards and elections will inhibit the needs of the community.
